24 Wednesday, November 30, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Bend man dies in single- vehicle wreck A Bend man was killed in a single-vehicle wreck on Innes Market Road east of Sisters last week. OSP troopers and emer- gency personnel responded to the report of a single-vehi- cle crash in the 19000 block of Innes Market Road on November 24, at about 4:15 p.m. Preliminary information revealed a 2004 Ford F250 was traveling westbound on Innes Market Road when it went out of control negotiat- ing a corner, left the highway and struck a tree. A passing motorist came across the crash and called 911. The motorist reported it appeared the driver was unconscious and not breath- ing, but could not reach him due to the vehicle being locked. An OSP trooper was on scene within a few min- utes and broke the window out to access the driver. The trooper provided medical attention but the male was pronounced dead a short time later. The driver was identified as Blake D. Payne, 56, of Bend. Both airbags deployed but it appeared Payne was not wearing a seatbelt and had struck his head on the windshield.

Endurance races often include mountainous stretches on which run- ners will power-walk rather than run, but the Ozark race did not include much steep climbing — which presented a challenge of its own. “The course is actually more runnable than I am used to,” she explained. “There were lots of rolling hills ver- sus steep mountain climbs, so it was harder to know when or if to walk. In a situation like that your legs can feel more tired early on due to all the running versus having power-hiking breaks.” Nordell’s other challenge was simply staying awake. “Due to the time of year we had less daylight, and BARBER SHOP Veterans Discounts & Hot Shaves!

Both are long- time friends and ultra-run- ners, so having them made things work like clockwork. I saw them at mile 14, 40, and 65. Billy paced me from mile 65 to 78, then Steve went through 94.5 miles before Billy jumped back in to get me to the finish. I give huge credit to these guys.” Nordell, who is sponsored On-site chef to customize your menu Event expert to make planning easy Perfect holiday setting Book early for best availability 541.516.3030 AshleyKNordellKwithKherKtwoKpacers. also pushing one another to run our best to the very end. I’ve never run so hard the last miles of a 100 before.” When asked what the best part of running 100-mile races, she exclaimed, “The finish! “I can’t compare that feel- ing with anything else,” she said. “The harder the race, the more amazing crossing the finish line feels.” She added, “Also, the friendships you create in these events are meaningful. There is a special bond that forms when you endure and suffer so long with other people.” Nordell established a new course record for women, making the end of her 2016 race-season all the better. by Drymax socks and Ultraspire packs, appreciates the camaraderie and support- ive culture that permeates ultra marathons. “I had never met Tommy Doias, but when I passed him around mile 47 he was the most gracious and encourag- ing person. He made sure to tell me about a challenging turn up ahead and congratu- lated me on my performance at Bighorn,” she said. “I think he is a perfect example of the culture of the sport and how people who are racing can still support one another. We were both in the final aid station together with 6.5 miles to go and literally raced to the finish.
